Am i the only one that's fed up?

Today a friend asked me, ‘why can’t people just be genuine?’
and I wanted to weep because I have been asking myself the same question since
time in memorial. Wouldn’t it be easier and less taxing emotionally to mean
what you say and say what you mean? What about that friendship, why can’t you
as my best friend be genuinely happy when I buy my car or when I find an
amazing man? And that relationship, why do we always have to play games, see
who breaks fast. Why must I first torment you psychologically to see how far I can
go with it? Why can’t we have those that we want in our lives and leave those
that we feel make us unhappy out of it? Why do people go to unnecessary lengths
to please people that they don’t genuinely like just so they can go discuss and
plot their downfall with someone else? Would it hurt if you made a decision
today that so and so is going to be my friend for ever because of this and
that, and I will genuinely love them, and be loyal and honest whenever and
wherever.

I’m sure you have a million reasons why people do this, but
I’m very very sure that it’s always better to be genuine, both for you and for
the other party.
